SummerFest Weekend Comes to an End

More than 100,000 attended annual chamber event.

SummerFest wrapped up on Sunday after a lively weekend of festivities enjoyed by an estimated 100,000 people.

"This is a great event, and it was great weekend," chamber president Rich Trpicovsky said.

With beautiful weather and a great turnout on Friday and Saturday, Sunday's festivities did not disappoint. Entertainment was constant at all of the stages set up downtown, including a fly-over by two planes from the Bayport Aerodome. The classic car show, presented by Still Cruisin' Car Club, was set up on Main Street through 4 p.m. and featured approximately 400 cars.

The vendors, food tents, rides and games were again favorites. The proceeds from the event help support the Chamber of Commerce and the many events they sponsor. Residents don't have to wait long to attend the next event, Margaritaville, which is taking place this Friday at the parking lot on South Main Street. There will be prizes for best Parrothead, parrotkeet and parrot vehicle. See the chamber's website for more information.

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
